Environmental Initiatives in Europe

In Europe we strive to minimize our carbon footprint and aim for carbon neutral production sites Moreover, we are happy to contribute to our society by supporting local projects and communities.

AISIN Europe Roadmap to Carbon Neutrality

Milestoes to reach CN by 2040

Our Roadmap

Significant efforts have been made on all AISIN Europe sites to reduce carbom emissions. Our first focus is to ensure that the energy used for our daily activities (office, production) is coming from renewable sources.

On-site Power Generation in Mons: Another Milestone Towards AISIN Europe’s Carbon Neutrality Target

AISIN Europe Production Site in Mons

AISIN Group is promoting Carbon Neutral activities on a global scale, aiming to achieve carbon neutrality over the entire life cycle by 2050. In this article, we are introducing our activities in Europe and the newest launched project: a wind turbine in Mons, Belgium.

AISIN Europe, headquartered in Braine l’Alleud, Belgium, is the subsidiary of AISIN CORPORATION and regroups 4 production sites, 3 sales and 7 R&D offices. AISIN Europe sells locally manufactured body and powertrain parts as well as imported transmissions and chassis-related products to all major car manufacturers with European production facilities. Customers include BMW, Hyundai, JLR, Renault-Nissan, Stellantis, Toyota, Volvo, VW, and others.

  • AISIN Europe Mons site: at the forefront of a Sustainable future

    AISIN Europe has been promoting and implementing projects, such as geothermal energy, solar panels installation and harnessing wind power, with the aim of achieving Carbon Neutrality across the European sites.

    Between 2014 and 2024, the AISIN Europe production site in Mons has taken significant steps towards carbon neutrality over the years. One of the first projects was to adopt geothermal energy in 2014. Three years later, 4,300 solar panels were installed on site and in 2024 additional solar panels were installed to cover the car parking.

    To take this initiative further, on June 14, 2024, AISIN Europe inaugurated the first wind turbine built on an AISIN site. The wind turbine is part of the Ghlin-Baudour wind farm which now comprises four brand-new wind turbines installed by the energy provider Luminus. These 140m high turbines are expected to produce 25.2 million kWh annually, equivalent to the consumption needs of 7,200 households, and prevent the emission of approximately 3,700 tons of CO2.

    Altogether, these initiatives are reducing the Mons site’s carbon footprint (scope 1 & 2) by approximately 1,223 tons of CO2/year. This is equivalent to approximately 160 households’ energy use for one year and would require about 7,300 mature trees to absorb. AISIN Mons is the first AISIN Group production site to cover its energy needs from 100% locally generated renewable sources. This is a significant milestone in advancing AISIN Europe’s sustainability goals to offset all its CO2 emissions by 2030 (scope 1 & 2).
